I tried installing the 7.4.2 package today with no success.

I understand that because of a bug fix between 7.4.1 and 7.4.2, a
dump/restore cycle is recommended. So I dumped my current db's, installed
7.4.2 via cygwin's setup application, logged in as my postgres user, and
proceeded to init.

Instead of seeing the normal progress of initdb, I saw the following...

$initdb -D /usr/local/data
...

... #normal messages here...

creating template1 database in /usr/local/data/base/1... Signal 12

initdb failed
$

I'm running Windows XP service pack 1
uname -a returns
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 SQUEEZEBOX 1.5.10(0.116/4/2) 2004-05-25 22:07 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

I Reinstalled 7.4.1-3, and executed the normal initdb/restore cycle
without a problem at all.

7.4.2 now uses cygserver to run postgres as a service. Make sure you
have installed cygserver, included it in your path, delete the current
postgres service you have installed, and finally reinstall the postgres
service using cygserver instead of the ipc-daemon2.
